Improve Amazon EBS efficiency and be more cost-efficient
summary
Securonix has 6.8 PB of EBS provisioned and average utilization ~40% so Zesty deploys a thin virtual layer that auto-provisions and detaches native EBS volumes via IAM, uses copy‑on‑write to relocate live blocks, and adds optional compression (up to ~40% extra). The rollout shrinks provisioned storage to 3.15 PB, raises utilization to ~80%, and cuts EBS spend by about $200K/month with no service impact; supports EMR, Kafka and AWS Batch and bills through AWS Marketplace. Automated shrink/scale via native EBS volumes.
